Re: lime

I seem to get a lime vibe from good 'ol Guerlain Vetiver! Sort of reminds me of a daquiri recipe a friend &quot;inherited&quot; while tending bar for a few years. Of course, once drydown comes around, the freshness subsides and this vetiver becomes earthy and rich with it's tobacco in the base.

Re: lime

The top notes of Ormonde Jayne's Isfahan (yes i know its called Isfarkand now, but i hate that name!) are dominated by lime.

Mmmm......I dunno. *Give it a try if you haven't!!

Good luck!!!

;D ;D ;D

I agree with this but would recommend Guerlain Vetiver eau glacee as it has an amazingly sharp lime / citrus opening accord. It is Vetiver + zing! LOL

Re: lime

I second the Trumper scent, if you really want limes. That said, aside from the &quot;green-ness&quot; of limes and St. Patty's Day, what's the connection? Limes are like the last thing I think of when I think of Ireland. Maybe something with an (Irish) whisky note would be more like it...or L'Anarchiste with that blood note (i.e., blood pudding), or something with peat/earthy notes...

Re: lime

I have a bottle of Floris Summer Limes which is really quite nice (don't know how it stacks up to the original Floris Limes). Rather than being overly citrusy and tart, Summer Limes is made from the Lime Blossom, so it has a nice, soft, smooth, buttery-floral note to it which makes me think of velvet. The longevity isn't the greatest, and it wears close to the skin--but it's one of the better fragrances in the desert heat. Montale's Oud with Lime is pretty interesting, too--I have a sample and when I try it, I can't resist to sniffing.

I have a bottle of Summer Limes too, but to me it's more lemon than lime, I personally prefer Floris Limes (more expensive than Summer Limes) or, even better, Trumpers WI Limes or Penhaligon's Limes.
